As more people arrived, one girl in particular struck Alix's attention; her artificial white hair and circle framed glasses that suited her face perfectly, and Samus Aran costume that hugged her petite body in all the right places, silver jewelry cascading her neck and ear lobes, caught not only the gaze of Alix, but her crush.
Jealous pangs struck Alix as Judd stared contently at the mystery girl
'Must be one of the theatre thots'
Alix left the crowd and towards the upstairs hallway to explore. Approaching a door with a message sprawled across it saying, "Trespassers will be Flayed" and caution tape strung about. Curiosity filled the girl's mind and caused her to feebily pry open the door, exposing a dim lit and dank smelling room, with clothes scattered on the floor and an unmade twin bed, posters of underground metal bands and what seemed to be soundcloud rappers.
Further venturing into the room, the girl stumbles across a record player, next to it was a zippo lighter engraved with dice and a stack of records lying under it on top of a dresser that was nearly the size of Alix.
"Did you not read the fucking sign?"
Judd slithered across the room to meet eyes with Alix, who stood scared out of her mind from the sudden interruption of snooping
"Are you going to answer me?"
"Uh"
"That's not a good enough answer, why are you in here? Need a mental image for your spank bank?"
"Well, I got bored and wanted to explore, I should probably leave now, it's getting late"
"It's only 9:30, chill out. Stay for a little while longer, maybe you'll make some friends"
"I dunno, man. The people down stairs intimidate me; y'know there's this one girl that-"
The white haired lady creeped into the room, disrupting the conversation at hand
"Oh! Sorry, I thought this was a bathroom"
"No problem whatsoever, this is Alix"
Grabbing Alix gently by the shoulders and placing her in front of himself, presenting her like a prized possession, or trophy won at a tournament
"It's nice to meet you! I'm Robin"
Robin meekly smiled at the pair, twiddling her thumbs together, then proceeded to look for the bathroom
"See? Was that so bad?"
Clearing the lump in her throat, and trying to find the right words without unsettling the piercing eyes of Judd, Alix softly spoke, careful not to be so loud that passerbys could hear
"She's the one"
"The one what?"
"The girl who scares me"
"Pfft. Robin? My ex-girlfriend?"
"Ex, huh?"
